Wedding Countdown!

My wonderful husband (who has a wicked sense of humor) says that my older brother has a week of freedom left! He is getting married on Saturday, July 3rd. Hey, believe me, my brother is lucky to have found the terrific lady he's marrying. And I already consider her and her two sons as part of the family. I realize that the older I get, the more I truly appreciate my family. :)

Happy Holidays!

Have a wonderful holiday season, Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year! :)

A Time of Tests

Concerned for my father-in-law's health and recovery. He's currently in the hospital, most likely awaiting back surgery, but we're not sure when this will happen. Thanks to my friends and family for their healing prayers, good wishes and support during this challenging time.

Quote for the Day (or Month)

Hmmm. I have been VERY neglectful of this blog during the last few months. I've been playing over on Facebook a lot (unpaid plug...sorry! LOL) and so friends and family have caught up with me there. But I stumbled across this interesting quote yesterday when I was reading a book. The book was by the psychiatrist who was a consultant on the movie "Rain Man" with Dustin Hoffman. He included a quote from a great and legendary man that I found fascinating. I wanted to share it with you here. I hope you are all well. :)

"I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

-Sir Isaac Newton

...And the hits just keep on coming!

Okay, this is not a note of foreboding doom, just a quote I like from the movie "A Few Good Men" starring Tom Cruise. It just means that there's a lot of stuff going on right now, both at work and personally. I'm scrambling to keep up! Not much of an explanation, right? LOL

But I do like the film's message of honor, respect and standing up for what's right when it isn't popular or even recommended. These are attributes that I try to incorporate into my life, even when I'm having a really rough time of it. Thank goodness for the little victories along the way.

Uh oh...it's been almost a month!

Sorry to everyone. I've been really neglecting my blog here. Okay, if people really know me, they realize I've been pretty much doing updates over on my Facebook profile (unplanned--and unpaid--website plug).

But, my husband and I just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. Hooray! And we just got back from a great week's vacation. Tomorrow is back to work (and real life). Take a deep breath and go forward!

Is it June already?

Good grief! My mother was right that time flies (as you get older)! My wedding anniversary is approaching quickly. It's amazing...6 years already! I definitely got lucky with my life partner. He's a keeper.

Happy June everyone!
